- Physical Description
- White silk crepe (repp weave) unlined summer kimono with green shibori (tie-dyed) pattern of vertical stripes and maybe wax-resisted cloud design. Vertical lines look a bit like wood-grain.
- Subject Matter
- This summer kimono required a labor intensive technique called shibori, in which hundreds of hours would have been spent tying up each small section where white can be seen on the fabric before immersing it in dye. Shibori textiles are very expensive due to the time and skill required to produce them.
